Children and families are at the center of everything we do.
That’s why we’ve invested in free school meals, paid leave, affordable housing, a nation-leading Child Tax Credit - and that’s why we just ranked as one of the top states for kids.

People without paid sick days are less likely to access preventive care like vaccines and cancer screenings, and are more likely to resort to expensive emergency room visits—preventable visits from this group are estimated to cost the U.S. over $1.1 billion per year. #PaidLeaveForAll

Did you know—lack of access to paid sick days leads to increased community contagion, especially from service workers in food and child care, and a greater risk of workplace injuries. Construction workers without paid sick days are 21% more likely to experience a non-fatal injury. #PaidLeaveForAll

Thank you @governor.ca.gov for signing this bill into law yesterday!!! This will make California’s Paid Family Leave program more equitable by allowing workers to receive leave benefits while caring for members of their chosen or extended family. ❤️
Great News! #SB590 passed the California State Assembly with bipartisan support! It‘s time to make our paid family leave program more inclusive.
